CJ in Canada in the Secret Santa Swap. The purse is so clever..it looks like she couched that ribbon all over the fabric. However it was done, it is a nice effect. Thank you so much CJ!
Some of the other quilting related goodies that I found under the Christmas tree were a fabulous quilt top that DH bought from Ebay. Now he expects me to finish it! But before I can do that, he has to expand my quilting frame: this top is queen size and my frame is set up at 5 feet wide at this point. The pattern is called Friendship knot. The big challenge with this project will be the binding because the edges have triangles. I'll have to get a close up of the edges later, I know that I'll definitely need help with that part.
I also got an Ott Lite and two books from Santa Claus:
Hmmm...you can't see that one very good in the image I grabbed from Amazon, it is Sublime Stitchery by Jenny Hart
From my fabulous Aunt Mia who is more like a sister than an Aunt, I got this bunch of fabric strips and this book:
My DH has been attempting to buy me a new sewing macine, but so far he has had no luck. He has bid in several auctions on Ebay for a used Bernina 1630 to replace mine, but so far he has been unable to win one. So I'm waiting, and contemplating my choices.
